Gotta say, my heart skipped a beat when it went almost completely dark and the red glow from the jellyfish was closing in on me! Great job!

Cute game!

I really liked that it became darker when we got deeper and that the fishes had those red marks.

Well done! :D

We have the same gamename btw!

Nicely made. Enjoyed the tune and the art is well made. I was confused at first whether the light was working, as I hadn't moved far enough down when the tutorial showed, so the outline for the light had not appeared yet. I also didn't pay enough attention and didn't realize you included controls for rotating the light lol. It made a lot more sense once I realized you could rotate it.

Pretty cool, giving access to the light earlier maybe better as I thought it hadn't been implemented at the start as only the battery drains while in the tutorial area.

Developer

Ya good point; maybe it should have started slightly darker to show that there is a slight glow in the first place. Thanks for the advise!

Extremely creative, gameplay was pretty fun as well, I liked the bubble pops on the menu selection. Simple art style, I liked it. This was a nice chill game

Developer

Thanks for your comments and playing! Menu pops shall stay on for the next jam :)

I got to 7251 😎. Very creative idea to repel the creatures with your flashlight.

Wow that was deep; thanks for playing!

I got -6940! I like the mechanic of making creatures run away using light instead of killing them!

I also like the simple design and the presentation of the deep sea!

This is fantastic, it's playable, cute, has very good visual+audio queues, and it sticks with the theme!
